Re: re grevilleas

The following is a list from an excellent nurseryman's catalogue whose
home, garden and nursery is in a very cold area outside Hobart.  Frosts
and snow in Winter.  
Ground cover:
Grevillea x 'gaudi chaudi' - excellent plant, spreading quickly to form
dense ground cover.
'Pink Lady" - forms mat 20cm x 1m. Pink flowers
'Royal Mantle' - Viorous prostrate ground cover with red flowers in
Spring and Summer
Grevillea - evergreen shrubs -
'acanthifolia - prickly, pink flowers
'australis' - low shrub with white flowers
"Candy Stripe" - Buff flowers with red stripe
"Canterbury Gold" - Yellow flowers
"Clearview Robin" - glorious foliage, red flowers
"Coppersheen" - low spreading,dissected foliage tinted copper red and
red flowers

"Summerleas" - local [Tasmanian] hybrid of G.acanthifolia and
G.longifolia.  Good tinted red young growth.  Red flowers
'victoriae' - the most cold hardy G.  Forms a compact, upright bush with
clusters of red flowers
